Your quads are AMAZING!!!! Great job all around but definitely well done on your legs!

Working out is harder than not working out. It takes energy. But for those of us willing to expend the energy and invest the time, there is a huge reward waiting!

My Diet 7 meals a day, I eat every 2 - 3 hours
* 1 serving of 20 to 30 grams of complex carbohydrates at my first 3 meals.
* 1 serving of fibrous carbohydrates (vegetables) in place of complex carbohydrates at each of my last 2 meals.
* 1 serving of 25 to 30 grams of protein at each meal.
* Bed time: 25g Casein Protein shake w/ 1 tbsp of peanut butter.

No bread or pasta, and not much of fruit or dairy.

SUPLEMENTS:
CREATINE, GLUTAMINE, GLUCOSAMINE, MULTIVITMINS, BCAA'S

My training, heavy and hard!

Cardio: 6 times a week 40 minutes,
I split 20 minutes in the morning (empty stomach) and 20 minutes before bed.

Weight Training:
Day 1: Backs, Abs. 15" Cardio
Day 2: Legs, Calves. 15" Cardio
Day 3: Cardio 30"
Day 4: Chest, Biceps, Abs. 15" Cardio.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share that today officially marks 1 year since I started my journey.

49lbs and 17% BF down

This year, in March, I will start my build to help tighten my abs (I have a bit of loose skin), widen my back and cap off my shoulders. Then hopefully at the end of 2011 I will compete in my first figure comp!

Thank you for all your support! I couldn't have done it without bb.com and you gals!

awesome job! you look fab!

[wlb83]

LOVE all the AWESOME transformation pics ladies, you are all such a true inspiration My started in 11/09 when I hit 245lbs pregnant with baby #3 in 3 years. She was a surrogate for friends of ours. It was a incredible journey, but the weight got out of control from all the meds and bad eating habits!! Its been a year and a month and so far I am down about 90lbs with only 10 left to go!! Cannot WAIT until I hit that 'goal' weight and a total of 100lbs lost!! Thank you for reading girls!! Hugs! xoxo

You look like a totally different person! Great job!

[wlb83]

In October 2010 I competed in my novice debut bodybuilding competition - it was A BLAST! Here are some before and after pics to share

1) March 2010
2) August 2010
3) and 4) competition day October 30, 2010

wow! how in the world did you go from your August pics to October pics... only 2 months!!! I'm amazed!

[wlb83]

Before pic...three years ago...

Obviously the after...

80 pounds are gone and will never be found again. People are always quick to ask me how I did it. I always tell them lifting weights...not barbie doll weights...serious heavy weights plus cardio plus proper nutrition. I started my journey when I was 39 and now I am 42 years old and I feel better than I have in two decades.

It can be done at any age! Great job... you look so much younger in your after pic!

[Jodie10]

Round of applause for all the posters ITT. Thanks for the dose of inspiration

[Todayisforme]

You guys are fabulous!

I'll have to see if I can dig up an old pic from when I was over 200lbs

[ProYeo]

Time to check back in. The reverse from my 2015 comp. season has gone well and I've survived the mind games! I'm back up to my normal off season weight and focused on maximum gains.

[elvirka]

Amazing, you guys are an inspiration!

[Chloekypps]

Wow, what a great thread, very inspiring. I really wish I had taken more pictures of my progress, I got rid of every single fat pic I ever had and didn't take many pics of my journey :-( Perhaps I should start doing it more. On the plus side at least I lost the weight and fell in love with strength training, it could be worse!
I'm loving how inspiring all of these are

[SabrinaMarie91]

wow girl! good for u!!!

OK ladies, show us what you've accomplished so far!

I will begin

Awesome work, looking strong! Those quads are killa' too!

[Rhoda1990]

This is me between summer of 2003 and August 2010. I had already lost a little over 40lbs back in 2003. I'm heavier now but my body has changed a lot since then. I'm a constant work in progress

You look amazing!

[Tikibeast]

Please rate my 11 months of progres

Don't open it, poster is a child posting kiddie porn...or something close to it.

Let me preface this by saying I train for strongman and powerlifting, not bodybuilding (this could change in the distant future though). I am a few months into a bulk, and was tested at 17.5% bodyfat a week ago but I look around 23%. I'm no pump no flex here (because this was the day after I worked out) but I just want to know why I look so soft, and if there is anything I can do about it besides stepping off creatine (which I suspect is the main culprit) which I don't want to do because I have a meet in december and just started on it. The bruises are from training, sorry about that lol.

Not sure if this is the right thread but help would be appreciated.

[Sunflowerhippi]

212-137 with 54lb weight gain in the middle with a pregnancy.

Bod Fat was bodpod tested at 22.4% around the 10m stomach pic. Going back for a follow up in 6 more weeks.

How were you tested? Creatine adds water to your muscles, if anything, it'd only make your muscles look bigger. 17.5% would be pretty lean, so I think the test method is the culprit here. DEXA is most accurate, and would read you higher than you'd look because it takes in all your bf, not just the stuff right under the skin. Bodypods are alright, not totally accurate. Calipers can be ok to way off depending on the person using them, and consistency. Bf scales, and those biometric (I think that's the word? those handheld things) can fluctuate just from drinking a cup of water, way off.
Numbers are numbers though, fact is you look great. You've got visible muscle, and I wish I looked that lean a few months into any bulk I've done. If you're planning to cut after anyway, then a little fat doesn't matter, losing fat is the easy part.

Side note: In the future, for fast replies, use the main forum. These ones tend to get less frequent views.

That's insane! So inspiring

[rutabaga22]

Cant wait until i can post a few pics of my progress..

im new here so there needs to be a limit of 30 posts i think before I can post up pics. ughh

ive always been into fitness and workout but latley this last month i have been pushing myself to the extream wiht weights and im having a lot of fun with it!! "testing my limits"
im up to 360 on leg press with 5 reps.. im so curious to see what my max is..

is it scary when "guys" see girls pushing this much? lol i know that everyone is different and blah blah, but i just thought i would ask..

No, I even like it when I see girls pushing 800+. youtube.com/watch?v=lIcygNYuAtg (fill in the rest of the URL). Although here she is squatting with 225, she can squat 400 and leg press more than double that. (I did not take the video but I know Veronica.)

[write2staceyz]

This is my current.

I am very new to this.

I have abs, glute, chest, arms, back to improve.

I started workouts 1 year ago.
